A simple full extract Bavarian wheat.
10 days, 20 dollars, 4.5 hours of work (depending on how many "inspiration" beers I have while brewing and bottling...), 5 gallons of beer. pure awesome.
Doing DME allows me to brew quickly after work on a week night and I have full carbonation and easy drinkability 10 days after brewing. A slice of citrus (I prefer pink grapefruit) and life is good. Perfect for when I need beer but don't have time to do a full grain .... rather home brewed DME than over priced mediocre store bought.
6 LBS Breiss Bavarian Wheat DME
1oz German Hallertau
1 package Safbrew S-33 Dry Wheat Yeast
Get DME mixed into boil water (I use 2.5 gallons for a 5 gallon batch size).
Once fully mixed and roiling boil is reached the hops are added as a 60 minute addition. Yeast starter is made and pitched per usual. Bottle a week later and priming sugar is added to reach a 3.9% carbonation rate (or about 1.03 lbs of corn sugar at 65 degrees). After three days I have a nicely carbonated, very approachable beer. Not only is this super fast, but the batch cost is only about $20 at my LHBS. Cheers!
